 ### Parsers and Generators
 
-- **Parsers:** Prism-based Ruby (default, `RDoc::Parser::PrismRuby`), legacy ripper-based Ruby (`RDoc::Parser::RipperRuby`, opt-in via `RDOC_USE_RIPPER_PARSER=1`), C, Markdown, RD
+- **Parsers:** Prism-based Ruby (`RDoc::Parser::Ruby`), C, Markdown, RD
 - **Generators:** HTML/Aliki (default), HTML/Darkfish (deprecated), RI, POT (gettext), JSON, Markup
 
-Both Ruby parsers must produce equivalent code-object trees, so parser tests live in the `RDocParserPrismTestCases` module (`test/rdoc/parser/prism_ruby_test.rb`) and are included by both `RDocParserPrismRubyTest` and `RDocParserRipperRubyWithPrismRubyTestCasesTest`. The ripper variant is gated on `RDOC_USE_RIPPER_PARSER`, so `bundle exec rake` locally only runs prism; CI exercises ripper in a separate job. Add new parser tests to the mixin, and run `RDOC_USE_RIPPER_PARSER=1 bundle exec rake` locally before declaring a parser change done.
+Parser tests live in the `RDocParserRubyTestCases` module (`test/rdoc/parser/ruby_test.rb`) and are included by `RDocParserRubyTest`. Add new parser tests to the mixin.
